Management of Peritoneal Surface Malignancies Cytoreductive Surgery HIPEC PIPAC and Beyond by Amine Souadka Book PDF Summary
Peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM) include a heterogeneous group of primary tumors, like peritoneal mesothelioma, and peritoneal metastases from various origins such as ovarian, gastric, colorectal, or appendicular cancers. Their pathophysiology is complex and still not fully elucidated. Historically, due to their dismal prognosis, peritoneal surface malignancies were considered a terminal condition and treated as such in palliative intent.. Surgery has become pivotal in the treatment of PSM and the development of specific techniques of cytoreductive surgery (peritonectomies, “en-bloc” resection) open up a new era of curative intent treatments.
